Lilley-Kate has "pretty much" said "good-bye" to her collection of bows... (although SOMETIMES I can coherce her into wearing one to accent a pony tail... hey... I'm holding onto those bows with BOTH HANDS... LOL)... we are QUICKLY acquiring quite a collection of HEADBANDS... and finding a STORAGE SOLUTION has been challenging at best...

Lilley-Kate had been keeping some of the headbands around her lamp on her dresser... the headbands were "wrangled"... easy to see and grab when getting dressed...and it WORKED... for a time (as the headband collection has grown... this method of storage has become more irritating than practical.. think HOT TANGLED HEADBAND MESS...LOL)... but we needed a more permanent and practical SOLUTION....

After looking around "blogland" (and eBay)... I decided to MAKE a HEADBAND HOLDER similar to a "classic" BOWHOLDER... easy peasy (lemon squeezie)... This isn't "my" original design... gotta give credit where credit is due!... I used what I had already here at the house (1 1/2" wide grosgrain ribbon)... and "whipped" up THIS headband holder in about 10 minutes!!!

Headbands corralled!!! Easy to SEE and GRAB when getting dressed... and NEATLY stored!!! I'll be making a couple more of these!!!... BUT I'm STILL holding onto those BOWS!!!

I was back and forth on having our "Annual GARAGE/YARD Sale" this year... but by Tuesday noticed all the signs already up for the other sales this weekend... so decided to push forward and quickly get mine ready for this Saturday...

We had quite a lively chat at dinner last night on the differences between GARAGE SALES, YARD SALES, TAG SALES, PORCH SALES, RUMMAGE SALES, SIDEWALK SALES, BASEMENT SALES, and any other type of SALE we could come up with... although when I went to buy signs at the DOLLAR TREE all they had was GARAGE SALE signs... and I have never seen pre-made signs that say anything but GARAGE SALE... so that's what we're going with I guess... a GARAGE/YARD sale...

IF you happen to be around the neighborhood... and see the signs... stop on by!!!
